AB  - Ideal child model of the late Ottoman Empire and the early Republic of Turkey is largely thesame and based on the paternalistic notion of decency, terbiye. In this article, it is argued whyand how this ideal model of child is reproduced from late Ottoman society to the early Republicof Turkey. The thesis is that terbiye as an old tradition aimed at growing children at home andeducating them in schools for survival of the social order based on trilateral power of God,Sultan/President, and Father- is one of the political, religious and educational heritagesinherited from Ottomans to modern Turkey. But while terbiye in Ottomans is heavily regardedand practiced in Islamic conception of formal and informal training, modern Turkey’sunderstanding of terbiye was founded on Turkish nationalism having a laique featureformulated in secular patterns. Although there are some continuities and discontinuities aboutterbiye in two periods, the decisive power of both governments was directed to reproduce thesocial order by placing the children into paternalistic place of society which shows thatpaternalistic relations are against the democracy for children in terms of self-determination ontheir acts and speech since the child has no right to determine his/her life both in present andfuture in terms of paternalist conception of society, government and education. The method ofthe study is based on the review and survey of the literature related to speeches by importantofficial founders and some writings of key ideological and political Turkish figures.
